Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To analyze an activated sample with higher resolution than conventional gamma ray measurement by making a multiple gamma ray analysis to two-dimensionally develop spectrum to thereby prepare a two-dimensional matrix in a method of combining the multiple gamma ray analysis with trace element analysis. SOLUTION: Two gamma rays simultaneously generated from radioactive species in the activated sample are simultaneously measured by a multiple gamma ray detecting device to prepare the two-dimensional matrix instead of one-dimensional spectrum. Each nuclear species is thereby separated completely for measurement without applying treatment such as chemical separation to multiple nuclear species in the sample.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, radioactivity analysis is performed by converting gamma rays emitted from radionuclides from a one-dimensional energy spectrum obtained by measuring with a single germanium semiconductor detector into information on energy and half-life. The nuclides are identified based on the results. The resolution of this germanium detector is about 1/1000 at 1 MeV. Since radionuclides emit gamma rays on the order of 10 on average, there is no problem in samples containing a small number of nuclides, but in samples containing tens of nuclides, the number of gamma rays reaches several hundred, and it is impossible to separate them all. Becomes impossible. In particular, weak gamma rays cannot be observed because they are obstructed by other strong gamma rays.

Similarly, a non-radioactive sample is activated by particles from an accelerator or a nuclear reactor, gamma rays emitted from the sample are detected, and the intensity is measured to perform qualitative and quantitative analysis of the sample.

In particular, since the germanium semiconductor detector was developed in the 1960s, activation analysis using gamma rays that can be detected with high resolution has developed, and environmental samples,
It has become possible to measure the content of trace elements in various samples such as biological samples and space earth science samples.

Therefore, in order to remove the effects of nuclides that interfere with samples containing many nuclides such as spent nuclear fuel,
Generally, a method such as performing chemical separation or sorting by nuclide half-life is used. However,
Chemical separation generally requires not only special techniques and labor, but also the need to determine the yield of the chemical separation, which can introduce errors during this operation. Also, the method of sorting by half-life requires a considerable amount of time to quantify nuclides having a long half-life, for example, and it is also troublesome to maintain the detector system during that time.

Further, a sample obtained by irradiating neutrons from a nuclear reactor and activating the same is analyzed and quantified in a one-dimensional spectrum obtained by measuring with a single germanium detector, but contains many elements. In the case of samples, the relative intensity of generated radioactivity is biased to some nuclides, it is difficult to identify trace elements, and chemical separation is often used, and errors in the recovery rate after separation affect the final result In addition to the above, a technique of chemical analysis is required.

Furthermore, even in the above-mentioned neutron activation analysis method, the relative intensity of generated radioactivity is generally biased to some nuclides, and it is often difficult to analyze many trace elements at the same time. For example, biological samples have high radioactivity such as 24 Na, 56 Mn, 42 K, and 82 Br, and geological samples have high radioactivity such as 24 Na, 56 Mn, 42 K, 46 Sc, and 59 Fe. In the method of analyzing a one-dimensional spectrum according to the above, peaks of other short-lived nuclides are hidden by these and are not detected. Therefore, it is necessary to perform radiation measurement after removing strong radionuclides by chemical separation. However, this requires not only the technique of chemical analysis, but also the re-activation in the reactor after chemical separation, and the recovery rate of the target nuclide must be obtained.
Furthermore, there is a concern that the accuracy of the analysis may be affected by the operation of chemical separation.

In the two-dimensional matrix method of the present invention, a plurality of gamma rays simultaneously generated from radionuclides in a sample are detected by two or more detectors of a multiple gamma ray detector, and the obtained two gamma ray energies are longitudinally detected. This method detects peaks by adding them on a two-dimensional matrix with the axis and the horizontal axis. Since the background of the one-dimensional spectrum is localized on a two-dimensional plane, it is suppressed to a few counts or less in most regions. Therefore, a weak peak can be detected, and the detection sensitivity increases.

Further, according to the present invention, since an artificial operation such as chemical separation is not required, online operation by a computer is possible. In other words, if the energy and detection efficiency of the detector are calibrated in advance, a two-dimensional matrix is generated while measuring the sample, the type of nuclide is specified from the position, and simultaneously the nuclide data for each nuclide built into the computer is obtained. As a reference, it is possible to determine the nuclide from the intensity of the peak on the matrix and display the result in real time. Naturally, the quantification of long-lived nuclides is also accelerated.

A plurality of gamma rays obtained were measured, a combination of two gamma rays observed at the same time was recorded in a computer, and a two-dimensional spectrum was created by analyzing the combination. From this, if a gamma ray spectrum having an arbitrary energy is observed and a gamma ray spectrum observed at the same time is created, a clean spectrum hardly obstructed by gamma rays from other nuclides can be obtained.
Thus, gamma rays from trace components can be measured without being hindered by gamma rays from coexisting nuclides without performing operations such as chemical separation.

Count (strength),
A two-dimensional matrix 5 in which the vertical and horizontal axes are gamma ray energy is created. In this method, two gamma rays γ 1 and γ 2 simultaneously generated from radionuclides in a sample are simultaneously measured by a multiple gamma ray detector to create a two-dimensional matrix instead of a one-dimensional spectrum.

A gamma ray resolution of 00 times was achieved, and a complete separation measurement of nuclides became possible. In Figure 2, since the vertical and horizontal axes respectively represent the gamma ray energy, its longitudinal axis contains a value of gamma 1, certain types of nuclides in a position definite by the value of the gamma 2 in the horizontal axis fall The nuclide abundance can be detected by measuring the height of the peak indicated at that position on the vertical axis (count).

Was recorded on a computer for each event and analyzed to create a two-dimensional matrix. This is set on a matrix or a narrow gate is set on one axis to cut out a one-dimensional spectrum, and then effectively measure the intensity of a two-dimensional peak. By calibrating the energy and intensity of gamma rays in advance, the channel and peak area of the two-dimensional peak are converted into energy and intensity. Based on these, quantification of nuclides becomes possible.

The above operation can be analyzed on-line by measuring the standard radiation source and calibrating the detector in advance. For this purpose, a standard source whose energy and intensity are known in advance is measured, and calibration data of energy and detection efficiency is created for each detector. While measuring the sample, the energy of the detector is calibrated to generate a two-dimensional matrix. At the same time, by referring to the nuclear data for each nuclide incorporated in the computer, the nuclide can be quantified based on the calibration data of the detection efficiency from the peak intensity on the matrix, and the result can be displayed in real time. Naturally, the quantification of long-lived nuclides with a long half-life does not have to wait for the short-lived nuclides to run out, and the analysis is speeded up.

The multiplex gamma ray detector used in the above invention comprises at least two or more gamma ray detectors. 2
The signals from the two detectors are sorted by a fast coincidence circuit only for coincidence events. At that time, energy information from the two detectors is taken into the computer. Based on this information, a correlation between two gamma rays is used to create a frequency distribution of events on a two-dimensional matrix. It is not always necessary to use a two-dimensional matrix as long as it is a substitute for the matrix. Further, the performance of the multiple gamma ray detecting device is better as the number of detectors is larger and the detection efficiency of each detector is higher. Further, when combined with a BGO suppressor or the like, the sensitivity can be improved by suppressing the background.

(Example 2) Analysis of actinoid elements Measuring basic transmutation data of minor actinoid nuclides is an important basic research for nuclear power research. For this purpose, the quantification of minor actinoids is necessary, but until now mainly the measurement by alpha rays has been large. However, nuclides in the vicinity emit alpha rays of similar energy and need to be detected with high resolution.Although alpha rays have a large energy loss in the substance, chemical separation of the sample was performed to remove impurities. Above, it was necessary to dry to a thin source. This not only required special skills, but sometimes it was difficult to obtain high separation efficiency.

According to the present invention, it is generally difficult to measure gamma rays from trace components by neutron irradiation of geological samples because strong gamma rays from 24 Na and 56 Mn are observed. Gamma rays from 27 elements could be observed at the same time without chemical separation by the analytical method. When the content of the measured elements was calculated from the intensity of gamma rays, they were consistent with the literature values of the standard rock samples within the range of error.
